I have a Instant Pro website (www.mull-it-over.co.uk) and Google Webmaster/Adsense are advising that their crawler robots are being denied.
I have created the following txt file in Notepad:
User-agent: Mediapartners-Google
Disallow:
and named it robots.txt. A search on the chat forums here give instructions that this txt file is uploaded to Root directory of my website but where and how do i do this.
Any help greatly appreciated on this or anything else to increase visits to my website.

Hi mullitover and welcome to the forums!
Unfortunately you can't use @DL's suggestion as there isn't FTP access with an InstantPro site.
I've never bothered with a robots.txt file - the 'good guys' will find you and the 'bad' ones don't obey it!
It's strange that you are seeing that warning about being blocked - is it just from a particular directory perhaps?
The Adsense bot you mention seems to be working fine as the ads being displayed seem relevant etc.
EDIT
I see there is already a default robots.txt with InstantPro sites:
www.hmmm.myfreeola.com/robots.txt which allows ALL bots access.

Hi mullitover and welcome to the forums ...
Access your website's directory using whatever FTP client you use and upload the file in question to the htdocs folder, where most of your websites content should be.
